>Plus, I get to collect these wonderful 24 hour urine tests every week for 3+ weeks


Jennifer, I sympathize. I am doing a 24-hour urine test today and it is not fun. I feel like I cannot venture out from home very far or long (am at the library now) because I have to be near that jug, which is in the fridge (what a sight to open the fridge to!). And I am so clumsy at the collection process. I can't seem to do it without making a royal mess (the boys have it much easier when it comes to this). You have do do this once a week for at least 3 weeks? I am sorry. But hopefully, it will answer the questions.

I am doing it to test for Cushing's Disease, which I think involves too much cortisol? Or is it too little? I have to do some research, I am Cushing-illiterate.

The endo has pretty much ruled out congenital adrenal hyperplasia for me, so we are narrowing things down. I also had bloodwork for insulin resistance yesterday.
